Pedro Caixinha is teetering on the edge with Cruz Azul after his own fans chanted for him to be sacked following another dismal display.

He said: "The people who hired me believed in me and I believe in my players and the project. "I am a very persistent man.

"I know people are laughing at us at the moment, but we will come back stronger for this."
